Quar Mr Genl June 5.th 1795.
Sir
The letters that you left at this Office for the purpose of obtaining information for the Estate of the late Col. William Butler have been particularly attended to, and I find that no information can be obtained that I conceive will be of the least service to the points in question. I therefore take the liberty of returning to you the said letters enclosed.
I am Sir Y.r &c
